Patent number: 9003664Abstract: A shaft material integrally having a shaft portion and a flange portion is formed by a forging process. The end face of the shaft portion of the shaft material and the end face of the flange portion on the opposite side of the shaft portion are ground relative to the corrected face, and the outer circumferential surface of the shaft material is ground relative to the end faces. This renders the cylindricity of the radial bearing faces formed on the outer periphery of the shaft portion of the produced shaft member to be 3 ?m or lower. Moreover, a shaft material integrally having the shaft portion and flange portion is formed, while simultaneously thrust hydrodynamic groove regions are formed on both end faces of the flange portion. After the forging process, radial hydrodynamic groove regions are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2011Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignees: NTN Corporation, Fukui Byora Co., Ltd.Inventors: Nobuyoshi Yamashita, Hideaki Kubota, Natsuhiko Mori, Keiji Nagasaki, Masahiro Makino

Patent number: 8120220Abstract: To provide a fluid dynamic pressure bearing device that achieves high rigidity against moment without degradation in assembly precision and bearing performance, bearing sleeves are arranged in an axial direction and coaxiality of radial bearing surfaces formed on inner peripheral surfaces of the bearing sleeves is set to 3 ?m or less. This secures width precision between the radial bearing gaps to prevent a degradation in bearing performance and a failure such as wear etc. caused by contact between a shaft member and the bearing sleeves. Further, a first radial bearing surface and a second radial bearing surface are provided on at least one sleeve, and this allows a sleeve assembly constructed from the bearing sleeves to be supported at least three positions in the axial direction in a process of assembling the sleeve assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2006Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: NTN CorporationInventors: Nobuyoshi Yamashita, Masaaki Toda, Kimihiko Bitou, Masaharu Hori
